Webinar: The Future of Requirements Definition & Management

Recorded for on-demand viewing. Scroll down to view recording and download slides.

Delivering quality software begins with clear and agreed to requirements. Industry averages for project rework range from 20–40%, and of that number 70–85% is related to requirements. Working from requirements that are “well formed” early in the project lifecycle will significantly reduce the frequency of defects, and clearly identify testing scope. Visualizations (such as storyboards and interactive simulations) ensure requirements are understood and provide a model for creation (generation) of test cases. If your organization has embraced Agile development methodologies, you must be prepared to find the balance between large sets of formal requirements and less formal Agile user stories. In a fast paced environment – understanding, tracking and assessing impact of changing business needs has never been more important. This presentation will explore some of the challenges affecting requirements definition and offer techniques to meet these challenges with success!
